Downtown art

Mary Marple of Lake Orion set up her easel in the alley behind The Clarkston News building, May 16, for some art work. “I just like the old buildings, the tile roof, the atmosphere, there’s a lot of figures going by,” said Marple, a member of the Thursday Brushes art group. The group from around the area gather every week to create local art. Photo by Phil Custodio
